Directions

  1. Let the cod marinate overnight. The next day, cut it into pieces and pat them dry with a dishcloth. Coat the pieces in flour and fry them in a paella until they are golden brown. Once they are cooked, remove them from the pan and set them aside in a dish.
  2. In the same pan, fry the peeled and chopped tomatoes; while they are frying, chop the onion, almonds, and a small amount of parsley in a mortar until you have a paste that you will add to the tomatoes, also incorporating some hot water and simmering for 15 minutes. Then, pass this through a Chinese sieve and add it to a clay pot, along with the peeled and sliced potatoes and a little more hot water. When the potatoes are cooked and 15 minutes before serving, add the cod, cooking gently for another 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. If the sauce is a bit thick, add splashes of hot water. About two or three minutes before taking the dish off the heat, taste and add salt as needed. ≈ 2 min
